outfit post: colours of the world

As we were strolling through a park in London today, inspiration hit me. I looked down at my incredible ensemble (pronounced on-somb) and realised that I needed to share the amazingness that fell together on my body this morning. 

Conveniently, it just so happened that my brown hair, boots and gloves matched the trees. My green coat blended wonderfully with the foliage. My black pants and bag tied in nicely the sculptures we just happened to chance upon. 

I call this outfit 'Colours of the World'. For those of you who require my guidance, I'm going to break this down for you...

Tip #1: Camouflage

A common theme in outfit posts is to ensure you contrast from the background. This is for aesthetic purposes. I call this "a social construct by society to make you look stupid". The best way to achieve aesthetic success is to blend in as much as possible. Note the slight lean I have adopted.


Tip #2: Don't Look at the Camera

If you have particularly amazing eyes, look directly down the lens. Do not smile. Be intense. If your eyes blend in too much to the background i.e. you have brown eyes and are standing near trees, it is best to look off into the distance, as though thinking about the best way to showcase your beauty. Note the angle of the arms and the flawless integration of props - I am really working on blending in. To the point where I lose one leg. #achievementunlocked 


 Highlight your flexibility as a model to potential model agencies by showcasing BOTH sides of your face. Whilst some of you might argue that you have a better side, I strongly recommend you fix the crap side and aim for dual perfection. Note how well I have achieved that.


Tip #3: Feature, Feature, Feature

It's incredibly important to encourage your photographer to move closer to you and pay attention to detail. If you have something worth highlighting, such as this exquisite waterproof black bag, it is absolutely necessary to feature it. Note the hand on the bag, reminding you that it is in fact ME who owns this bag and NOT you. 


It is also necessary to feature your pigeon toes, if you have them. If you are unfortunate enough to not possess pigeon toes, my suggestion is that you buy a pigeon (or steal one from the local park) and study closely the way in which it stands.

Author's Note: The coat is in fact sage green... It just doesn't look it in any of these photos.

      Oh yes, I think it's very important that anyone who is anyone owns a pet pigeon. How else would we know how to pose!
